Our After School program (grades K-5) also includes transportation - children are picked up from school and will be brought to our learning center, where they will receive assistance in completing their homework, be given individualized lesson plans and worksheets to enhance their understanding of what they're learning in school, and will have the chance to make friends from different schools! Parents are expected to pick children up from the center by 6:30 p.m., but we are flexible if you need a later pick-up time! We cater to all local elementary schools. All of our tutoring sessions are one hour long and are taught by certified, experienced college graduates. We offer tutoring for grades K-12, including GED and SAT prep.

We believe children should have FUN! After all, even the experts agree that preschool age children learn most through play. These carefree years are so short, and soon the children will be exposed to a much more structured form of learning. During the month, many activities take place which help promote basic skills (letter & number recognition, color & shape recognition, large motor skills, small motor skills, etc.). Our mission is to teach the children higher order of thinking skills to become independent individuals. We work with families to create a solid foundation, so children can grow and develop healthy lifestyles. We believe that if you teach your children to choose the right path, and when they are older, they will remain upon it. Proverbs 22:6 I accept newborn to 5 years old I incorporate a preschool curriculum into our daily activities for fun and to prepare the older children for school. Hours of Operation Monday - Sunday 24 hr Meals and Snacks are provided All SUBSIDIZED PROGRAMS ARE ACCEPTED
